The Institute used the occasion of its anniversary conference to release a wide-ranging policy document to help inform the final two years of the Obama administration. Written by a bipartisan group that included two former national security advisors, the paper asserts that multiple conflicts are undermining the entire architecture of the Middle East state system: "Should this weakening trend continue, we will inevitably be forced to contend with plots against not just our friends but also against the American homeland."

The Washington Institute seeks to advance a balanced and realistic understanding of American interests in the Middle East and to promote the policies that secure them. | About the Institute
